A portable, disposable, thermal drug dispensing apparatus and method of thermally controlling the delivery of medication therewith is provided. The apparatus provides a predetermined thermal energy over a predetermined amount of time to allow effective drug delivery regardless of the external environment. The apparatus produces exothermic or endothermic thermal energy, in a balanced and controlled environment via a chemical reaction between reactants contained as an integral part within the apparatus. The reactants are provided and automatically combined in a selective, predetermined manner within the apparatus to provide the desired thermal cycle needed to produce the desired, thermal environment for effective drug treatment.
